Tapabento S.Bento

From the moment you enter Tapabento you feel at home! The staff is so welcoming, taking time to really know their guests which makes the entire experience unforgettable. Hidden inside the train station, the restaurant’s design is quirky and full of personality. The food is DELICIOUS! The flavours lingered long after I had finished, and I cannot recommend the fish soup highly enough. If could literally eat at Tapabento every day the food is that good! Thank you Isabelle and team for making my last day in Porto such a great one, I will definitely be back! ❤️

The food and ambiance was fantastic. Excellent and sincere service, with the owner welcoming you and working the tables, friendly team. Engaged and helpful, and as they say in their welcoming text, make you feel like at their table. We had the fish soup and thai mussels and both were very good, fresh, tasty. Other dishes on tables also looked very good. Would come back either way no hesitation. The location is gorgeous entering by the main lobby of the historic train station. The space is tall and tables well set apart.

A sole traveller, only had half of a day left in porto before leaving at 3pm. I was looking for a good reasonably priced tapas place for lunch before flying off , chanced on Taoabento. Knowing how popular the place is and it was already 11pm I dropped a letter thinking no luck ..But no, Isabel replied to say no problem reserved a spot next morning..So surprised, got there on time was slightly hard to find, hidden within the train station/beside the platform ! Food was fabulous, Isabel came to recommend her own preference...I was a fan of mussle she was willing to change it with clams. I overheard the waitor's recommendation on ox tail "dim sum". Tempted added to order, and I did not regret of making that choice ! Was not the cheapest, but for the quality , freshness and creativity , taste of food was worth every single cent. Thanks for your hospitality. Hope to come back soon again to try the other dishes, not alone!

Literally one of our favorite meals in Portugal! Was recommended this place by my friend back at home! What you find here is delicious asian fusion with a Portuguese flare and beautiful flavors! We approve (and we are from California with a lot of great Asian restaurants)! We wish we had this restaurant back at home! We were greeted by the sweetest owner who treated us like old friends! We loved the following: 1. Chicken noodles 2. Nasi goreng 3. The duck medium rare (beautifully cooked, with crispy skin) 4. Peanut dessert (just do it, so good!) We recommend making a reservation ahead of time! But if you have to wait, it’s still worth the wait! Obrigada, until next time!

Excellent food and lovely staff! We had a great experience all around at Tapabento. Everything was incredibly fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The place was busy — and for good reason! The atmosphere was lively, the service was warm and attentive, and the food was outstanding. Highly recommend Tapabento if you're looking for a memorable meal!

This restaurant offers fusion flavours and lots of seafood. Highly recommend to book in advance, otherwise the queue was quite long. Portion sizes were great, great value for money.

Our hotel recommend we visit this restaurant for our first day in Porto after a long day of travel. Food was very flavorful and it was nice to have the staff make recommendations on what to order and pair together.

I think of it all the time and it’s been a year since I ate here! At the time I had been feeling under the weather and the soup made me feel so much better and was seasoned perfectly while still being light. Just amazing. The staff was also immensely kind and let us get in right before a reservation. Just cannot wait to return.
